多年来，大学图书馆的任务一直在演变。电子资源、自动化图书馆系统、数字图书馆和开放存取知识库的出现，促进了图书馆的变革。图书馆员在学术环境中的任务和责任一直在根据他们被期望承担的新任务而演变。几年前，有一个讨论，试图回答这个问题，如果一个数字图书馆员仍然是图书馆员。数字图书馆员应掌握一些新的技能和知识，使他们能够管理和组织数字图书馆，并处理大规模数字化、存储、访问和参考服务等所有专门任务。
OA的普及带来了新的变化。图书馆员的角色逐渐发展成为专家，他们不仅监督将资源上传到开放知识库的过程，为学术人员提供培训，而且还促进了OA的理念。
开放获取科学研究成果的思想向开放获取研究数据的演变，数据科学和开放研究数据（ORD）管理的出现都进行了热烈的讨论。学术人员面临着收集、描述和传播研究数据的新的艰巨任务。此外，学者们应该利用和照顾他们的学术著作的引用影响。因此，图书馆员开始了解ORD管理和支持学术机构进一步发展的战略。对于大多数图书馆员来说，这是发展新技能和知识的自然方式。在带来变化的过程中出现了一个新的工作-数据图书馆员，很快成为世界各地大学的抢手专家。
本文讨论了有关数据馆员的作用和他们的任务所产生的欧洲联盟（EU）的赠款计划和出版商的指导方针，谁应该出版的研究出版物与研究数据的问题。在此分析的基础上，作者将提出在格但斯克技术大学（GUT）创建开放科学能力中心的战略。
Academic libraries’ tasks have been evolving over the years. The changes have been stimulated by appearing of electronic resources, automated library systems, digital libraries and Open Access (OA) repositories. Librarians’ tasks and responsibilities in the academic environment have been evolving in accordance with new tasks they were expected to assume. A few years ago there was a discussion during which an attempt was made to answer the question if a digital librarian is still a librarian. Digital librarians were expected to acquire a number of new skills and knowledge which were supposed to allow them to manage and organize the digital library and handle all the specialized tasks of massive digitization, storage, access and reference services.
The popularization of OA gave rise to new changes. The role of librarians evolved towards becoming specialists who not only supervised the process of uploading resources on open repositories, provided the training for academic staff, but also promoted the idea of OA.
The evolution of the idea of open access to the results of scientific research towards open access to research data, the advent of Data Science and Open Research Data (ORD) management were all lively discussed. The academic staff were faced with a new and difficult tasks of collecting, describing and disseminating the research data. Moreover, the academics were supposed to take advantage and care of the citation impact of their scholarly works. As a result, librarians started learning about ORD management and the strategies of supporting academic institutions’ further development. For the majority of librarians it was a natural way to develop new skills and knowledge. In the course of bringing about the changes a new job appeared – data librarians, soon becoming sought-after specialists at universities all around the world.
The article discusses the issues concerning the role of data librarians and their tasks resulting from European Union (EU) grant programmes and the guidelines of the publishers who are supposed to publish the research publications together with the research data. On the basis of this analysis the author will present the strategy for the creation of the Open Science Competence Centre at the Gdansk University of Technology (GUT)..
